It is a nice hotel but very outdated. The room I was in needed a renovation yesterday. The bathroom was clean but again needs a renovation. The beach and pool areas are very nice!! Sand is clean, the pool is large, there is a sitting area as well, where you can enjoy a sunset. I would come back but wish the hotel had some Reno done inside.

I had an issue with my room which was supposed to be partial sea view then it turned out to be view on a working area, the hotel dealt with it fast and the GM kiras changed my room into a better sea view room to make my stay excellent. I stayed 2 night 3 days, food was very good, the beach was clean all the time Rooms are spacious and clean. They spread water for all guests in all rooms. Breakfast was a bit crowded but they had many options. Thanks kiras for the great help !
